‘Shameful’: GOP Gov Claims Student Protesters Are Being Used By Left

South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster (R) on Wednesday dove head first into an alt-right conspiracy theory that the students who are advocating for gun control after 17 people were killed at a Florida high school last month are being “used as a tool by these left wing groups.”

Discussing the national day of protest, in which students across the country walked out of their classrooms Wednesday to protest gun violence and demand stricter gun laws, McMaster told South Carolina’s Education TV that it was a “shameful” move by a “left wing group.”

“It appears these school children, innocent school children, are being used as a tool by these left-wing groups to further their own agenda,” he said in a video flagged by CNN. “It is not about the tragedy, it is not about the school children. … This is a tricky move, I believe, by a left-wing group, from the information I’ve seen, to use these children as a tool to further their own means. It sounds like a protest to me. It’s not a memorial, it’s certainly not a prayer service, it’s a political statement by a left-wing group and it’s shameful.”

McMaster isn’t the first Republican to make such claims.

In the days following the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School last month, alt-right groups theorized that the students who were vocally advocating for gun reform were paid “crisis actors” and pawns of liberal groups that want to promote gun control.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) was quick to squash the validity of those theories, but it didn’t stop the conspiracy from spreading. The President’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., appeared to support the claims when he liked a tweet that shared a story that attacked one of the student survivors whose father is a retired FBI agent.

Report: Jonathan Martin faces five charges

Jonathan Martin faces five charges after his alleged threats on social media, TMZ Sports reports.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney charged Martin with four counts of making criminal threats and one count of possessing a loaded firearm, via TMZ. A warrant is out for Martin’s arrest.

The former Dolphins offensive lineman had an ax, a large knife and a loaded 12-gauge shotgun when he was taken into custody February 23.

Martin’s Instagram post included the words, “When you’re a bully victim & a coward, your options are suicide, or revenge.” It had the hashtags #MiamiDolphins and #HarvardWestlake. It also included an image of a shotgun and shells and tagged former teammates Mike Pouncey and Richie Incognito.

Harvard-Westlake High School, Martin’s alma mater, closed for the day after it became aware of Martin’s threat.

Its a sad day when a teenage gunman has to be shotdown in school in order to prevent another massacre. That would be considered a tragedy anywhere else in the civilized world. Here in Amerikkka we just call it Tuesday.
 
To be honest.. I’m actually surprised a shooting didn’t happen there sooner. A lot of wanna be thugs & shit tryin to make a name for themselves (I was one of em). Still... it’s crazy to see my old stomping grounds all over TV. I got cousins that still go to that school. Glad they’re ok.
